A Special Collectors Edition 2 CD Set featuring one of the greatest film scores from the Composer of THE ALAMO * HIGH NOON * LOST HORIZON * THE GUNS OF NAVARONE * THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE * DIAL M FOR MUDER * GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL * IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE * RIO BRAVO * GIANT * FRIENDLY PERSUASION * 55 DAYS AT PEKING * RED RIVER

The score from one of the most infamous Westerns of the “Golden Age of Hollywood” : nicknamed “Lust in the Dust” , starring GREGORY PECK, JENNIFER JONES, JOSEPH COTTEN, LIONEL BARRYMORE, LILIAN GISH and WALTER HUSTON.

David O. Selznick had originally intended this property as his artistic follow-up to Gone with the Wind (1939). He envisioned a lavish production with no expense spared, and ultimately he got his wish. Constant production delays, many caused by Selznick’s meddling and the hiring and firing of as many as seven directors (including Selznick himself), as well as an extended editing period to cut the film from its original 26-hour running time, caused the budget to balloon to a then-horrifying sum of $6 million, plus an additional $2 million in marketing costs. Despite being known as one of the “Greatest Bad Films of All Time” if adjusted for inflation in 2013, the film’s US box office gross of $20,408,163 would be $410,714,300…making it one of the most successful films of that era!!
